So to clarify, non-exempt employees vs exempt EEs can be tracked with tracking such as DPA differently? This makes me wonder if this was reason so many former Cigna EEs are now exempt/hourly… so they can continue to “track” them…

@re Well sh-t Cigna has been tracking salaried exempt employees for years.
@kq There was a lawsuit last year in the Chicago area where an exempt employee claimed they were misclassified and entitled to overtime. The basis of the claim was that their job duties and performance expectations were focused on production metrics and time-tracking—tasks typically associated with non-exempt roles. Specifically, the use of tools like Staffalytics to monitor exact hours worked raised red flags, since closely tracking time and production in that way can undermine exempt classification under the FLSA.
@gr in trouble from who? So exempt employees aren’t supposed to have tracking like that?
@bn that’s called Staffalytics. It tracks any idle time over 30 seconds or 2 minutes. The company got in huge trouble late last year because they were using it on exempt staff and a memo went out telling leaders to stop and remove all goals for exempt employees that were tied to staffalytics.
@bz Exactly what I want to know, as well.
How about for nurse clinical positions? Coaches, utilization, case management, coordinators?
@OP I would hope so...not for tracking productivity, but to see network activity. Who wouldn't?
Both are correct, yes for certain positions. No, for others.
For CS, yes. They’re tracking mouse idle time, etc.
No, not at this time.
